I was at Vets in Blue. Got the call the next day to interview!
Interviewed on the 6th.
Mil ip/ep.
3300 hrs.
2600 pic.
1500 multi engine jet.
Masters degree.
The thing I'm sweating is recency, only about 220 in the last 12 months.

I think the thing about being current is more about that you are still hanging around the field. The airlines have instructors, sims and airplanes.

Mr. NoDeskJob - out of curiosity, was your availability listed as right away (or something relatively close to that?). I am retiring, but am not available till April, so I would assume they wouldn't bother to call me (if they ever do!) till sometime closer to then.

I applied on the last app window and was called first week of Sep and I had a mid-Mar availability listed. (using all my leave plus the 20 days of permissive TDY to put me in the mid-mar timeframe for terminal leave). JetBlue seems really great about working with your date so I wouldn't worry about that. Being military, they know our arms are tied when retiring.

Thanks Gents. Good to know. I think if anything gets me then, it'll be recency. I really don't have too much; less than 100 for this year and less than 200 for the last two. Not much I can do about it either excepting to get back into the swing with the regionals if JB doesn't call.
Another issue is that I had been listed as available on the application as July of 2016--which was true at the time, but has since changed to April of 15 - I added that into my cover letter but have no way of getting back into the actual application to change it...so, if they're sorting them electronically I'll get a call sometime a year after I've retired now. D'oh!
